Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign clear aligners offer a discreet alternative to traditional braces using SmartTrack material for controlled tooth movement. Patients receive custom-made, removable aligners that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment over 12-18 months. The treatment includes regular progress checks every six weeks and utilizes digital scanning technology for precise treatment planning.
Metal Braces
Modern metal braces provide efficient tooth movement through high-quality stainless steel brackets and archwires. This proven treatment option effectively corrects complex alignment issues and bite problems. Patients benefit from regular adjustments and color customization options for a personalized experience during their 18-24 month treatment period.
Forsus Appliances
Forsus appliances address severe overbites and jaw alignment issues without surgical intervention. This fixed appliance system works in conjunction with braces to reposition the jaw and improve bite function. Treatment typically lasts 6-12 months and requires periodic adjustments to maintain optimal pressure.
Digital Scanning
Our iTero Element scanner creates precise 3D digital impressions for accurate treatment planning. This technology eliminates traditional putty impressions, providing immediate visual feedback and enabling virtual smile simulations. The digital records enhance diagnostic accuracy and facilitate better communication about treatment expectations.
Early Intervention
Early orthodontic evaluation at age 7 helps identify and address developing bite problems. This phase of treatment guides jaw growth and creates space for permanent teeth. Interventions may include palatal expanders or space maintainers to prevent more complex issues requiring extraction or surgery later.
